B2 bass modules

Compact enclosures are easy to transport, set up and break down. Small footprint takes up considerably less space than traditional bass cabs required for same performance. Interlocking end caps let you securely stack the two modules together on their sides.

Each B2's efficient speaker design features two 10-inch (13.3 cm), high-output, high-excursion drivers that produce deep, strong bass from a small enclosure. Three level settings provide flexibility of output. When connected to power stand, active equalization circuitry automatically adjusts bass signal appropriately.

ToneMatch audio engine

The Bose ToneMatch audio engine provides four independent channels featuring a library of ToneMatch instrument and microphone presets, proprietary zEQ and a complete suite of studio-class effects and sound processors. ToneMatch features a built-in chromatic tuner for convenient tuning of instruments.

Proprietary ToneMatch presets optimize L1 system to match intended natural sound of specific instruments and vocal mics. More than 100 presets are organized into quick-access banks and can be independently assigned to each channel. Free ongoing updates via USB connection between your computer and ToneMatch audio engine.

Proprietary zEQ automatically adjusts the range of tone controls to match your voice or instrument, making it easier to fine tune your sound. Conventional mixers may have fixed EQ ranges that don't accurately affect desired frequencies when adjusted. But zEQ appropriately redefines low, mid and high frequency ranges of specified sources.

Single-band ParaEQ centers on frequency you specify for each independent channel. Valuable tool for reshaping problematic frequencies in certain venues.

Five reverb types (small, medium, large, plate and cavern) available for global assignment, with individual channel controls for decay time, mix level and brightness.

Three delay types (analog, digital and tape) can be independently assigned to selected channels, with control over feedback time and mix level for each channel. For example, you can select tape delay for your vocal on channel 1 and analog delay for your guitar on channel 2.

Ten modulation effects (three chorus types, two flange types, four phaser types and one vintage tremolo effect) can be independently assigned to selected channels, with control over designated parameters for each channel.

Seven dynamics processing types (three compressors, limiter, de-esser, kick gate and noise gate) can be assigned to independent channels.

Scenes allow you to store, recall and edit "snapshots" of all key ToneMatch audio engine settings at any given time. This feature helps simplify setup when you're using an L1 system repeatedly in different venues. The engine includes five predefined Bose scenes, five My scenes and five Shared scenes you can give to other L1 owners.

Rotary encoder for quick access to modes, effects and parameters, including ToneMatch presets, zEQ, ParaEQ, reverbs, delays, modulators, dynamics processing, scenes and tuner. Features clean, circular layout.

Aux mode (channels 1 - 3) send channels' dry, pre-fader or post-fader audio to aux output for connection to additional L1 systems or recording devices. Independent level controls for optimal signal output.

Channel volume, mute and FX mute (1 - 4/5) for adjusting individual channel volume, muting individual channels and muting all effects on selected channels.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I have been DJing for the past 16 years, 5 years part time, 8 years full time. I was using JBL speakers 2 18in subs powered with a Crown XLi 2500. 2 JBL MP410's for mids and highs powered with a QSC 2450. For mixing I was using a Peavey PV 12 USB 12-Channel Mixer with Digital Output and Effects. DBX 2/3 stereo crossover. Every place I played with this system I got great feed back. I was to the point of getting out of the business because of being sick of set up time, not having enough room to set speakers up for best sound, having to load and unload the heavy equipment and pulling a trailer eating up my profit (gas) I seen the Bose being advertised for up to 500 people, I couldn't believe it so I went to my closest Bose dealer (2hours away) to take a listen. I couldn't believe my ears INCREDIBLE I always thought the bigger the better punch, boy was I wrong. I now have my trailer and all other equipment for sale. I just used my Bose for the 1st time at a X-Mas party I have been doing for the past 8 years for over 200 people. The revues that I got were awesome. If your hesitating because of the size.......... DON'T this thing is clear, crisp and packs a punch.
